Evangelion Pinky:St

I've had these figures on my desk for the last few months and only recently had a chance to go out and photograph them. This particular set of Rei and Asuka has always been one of my favorites and I was excited to see them go on sale as an import back in March.

As per the norm of Pinky:St vinyl, these disassemble and their parts are interchangeable with any others from the line. This particular set came with two figures instead of the singular figure with alternate parts which is most typical.

I feel like the second set I received requires a slightly more "urban" background so photos will be up as soon as the opportunity arises.

Culinary Camaraderie: London Fog

I almost hesitated considering this a recipe due to the rather short list of ingredients and crude measurements but the delectable final result was too delicious to pass up.

Servings size: 1

-Your favorite mug's worth of milk

-2 tbsp Earl Grey Tea (I used loose-leaf Cream Earl Grey from a local tea shop)

-1 1/2 - 2 tbsp Vanilla syrup 

1. Heat Earl Grey and milk in a small saucepan until just before boiling and stirring often to avoid scalding.

2. Pour contents through tea strainer into mug. 

3. Add vanilla syrup, stir and enjoy. For best results, drink on cold british-like afternoons.

The Photography Expanse

I wish I had something a little bit more photo-heavy to post but life has been busy of late. Not in the "I hate my life and am going nowhere" sort of way, but rather the opposite. Here in the place of more entertaining visuals is a screenshot of a graphic project I wrote this evening in Python.

I am currently in my fourth week of school with a 13 credit-hour course load to ease my way back into things. I can already see that this was a wise decision based on my currently feral concentration levels. I anticipate this week to be filled with substantially higher volumes and focused amounts of study in order to more readily assure a straight A average.

Besides school, I have been keeping busy with an assortment of outings as well as at-home projects, some of which I hope to document and write about quite soon.  Thanks to winning runner-up to Photographer of the Year the other night at the Guerilla Photo Group 6th Annual Gala, I have become inspired to step up my photography game and take things a bit more seriously. I will be be taking my camera with me to more places as well as indulging in and planning much more elaborate shoots in the near future (so stay tuned).
